Pictures of the Week

Good thing I went down yonder to the garden when I got home from delivering some tomatoes a while ago and picked these green green beans. And yellow green beans. And purple green beans. 

And these jalapeno peppers.

Because now it's pouring down rain on this GMC- again.

And it's  raining on this big Mack truck too.

Again.

Throw some "Finish" dishwasher soap thing a ma jiggy pods at them, wash and rinse all at once!  Do those purple beans turn green when you cook them? Sure makes it easy to pick vs the green ones! lol    .....Hippy

I used to wash my service truck in the rain. Isuzu NPR with a 16' box...  My wife would get pissed off, but, my truck was clean and i didnt need to rinse, so I would wash an extra time around it...just sayin'... 🍻

They do. I told Zina we should only plant the yellow and purple ones because they're so much easier to pick.

We've got several gallon freezer bags in the freezer now for stew this fall. I'm going to cook some of these today. She doesn't like the way I cook them though. I cook them in chicken broth instead of water with a piece of cured seasoning meat. Sometimes I'll boil potatoes with them.

She "steams" them, that's what she calls it anyway. I call it "barely cooked at all".  They're still crispy, crunchy, and mostly tasteless when they're done. I cook them like my mom used to cook them. 😁
